Theodore Roosevelt is shown mid-speech outdoors in Yonkers, New York, his fist raised for emphasis, a gesture that matched the forceful style he brought to public life. The picture dates to 1910, the year after he left the presidency and while he was traveling and speaking widely. It comes from the George Grantham Bain Collection, the large body of glass negatives made by the Bain News Service, a Manhattan photo agency that supplied newspapers with pictures of current events. The title was written by the agency and is not independently verified, so the exact occasion is uncertain, but the image still captures Roosevelt's trademark energy on the stump.
